pool.sks-keyservers.net connection error

Hi All,

I'm having issues uploading my public key to the pool.sks-keyservers.net
servers. It seems that the DNS servers (ns1.kfwebs.net ns2.kfwebs.net)
are having issues.

Is anyone coming up with the same issue? Is their a solution? I have
further diagnostic info if anyone needs it.

Best Regards,
Nathaniel.

I use OpenDNS. You might try using a different DNS server.

You could always try going to a Keyserver's Site and manually adding
Your Key.

http://www.sks-keyservers.net/status/

The above Link will allow You to check on the status of the Keyserver Pool.

I would avoid OpenDNS as they break a lot of stuff. If your ISP DNS
servers are down, I would suggest emailing them.

For now, the IP address of pool.sks-keyservers.net is 76.184.75.94
You can use the ip address directly until your DNS servers are back up.

btw: This is not the IP of pool.sks-keyservers.net, it's the IP of
keyserver.gingerbear.net,... and just one of many A RRs of
pool.sks-keyservers.net .

I'm sorry but I switched from my ISP's DNS as my resolver to OpenDNS and life
has generally been better ever since. I found that a major performance issue
for lots of people is that the resolver provided by the ISP is frequently very
slow. I'd like to know more specifics on "they break lots of stuff".

I'm completely stumped as to what you might have to offer but if there's
something I should know I really want to hear it.

The main problem is that they redirect queries for non-existent domains instead
of returning NXDOMAIN. (Although you can turn this 'feature' off I think.)

See also the Wikipedia page on OpenDNS:
